Magic Underachiever

Chapter 169 Suspicion

Miss Anne was relieved that Marquis Whitehead did not continue to pester Brown. Brown, who was not very cunning, was definitely not the Marquis's opponent. The more he talked to him, the more secrets he would get out of him.

Anne didn't know what purpose her father had behind his sudden appointment as Governor of Marcellus, but she knew that she must not let her father know about these ancient heroes. In the face of absolute power, the political tactics that the Marquis was good at were all jokes. She had just found a way to communicate with Master Liang. If she let her father follow his way... it would push the empire into the abyss.

"You seem to be very afraid of your father. I feel that he... is a good person." This was also the first time Brown met Marquis Whitehead, and he felt like a spring breeze.

Anne was most afraid that Brown would have such feelings about his father. She warned him, "These are all disguises. All his appearances are disguises. As his daughter, I don't know which one is his true side. You... just look at me and you will know. In order to achieve my goal, I can play any role.

Be careful of my father. When he wants to see you alone, hide away immediately and notify me."

Brown didn't expect a daughter to have such an evaluation of her father. He said, "Your father-daughter relationship... is a little special."

"This is the Whitehead family. Too much emotion will affect people's judgment." When Anne talked to Brown, she still maintained the intimacy of lovers so that outsiders could not see any flaws. Then she took Brown to the corner of the banquet and said, "I will take you to see two people. When you met these ancient heroes in the Death Desert, they also led the expedition team to survey the Death Desert.

I just got information from a general.

When we took a train to Saroyang, they were rescued by a patrolling imperial airship near the Dosan Railway. They were the only two survivors of the entire expedition team, and the place where they were rescued was near... where you got on the train."

When Anne and Jessica were chatting just now, they naturally talked about Jessica and Sir Charles's expedition in the Death Desert, and some of the details aroused Anne's professional sensitivity.

She did not get information from Jessica in depth, but found a general of the Azure Corps who was responsible for patrolling the Dosan Railway, and learned about the rescue process of Sir Charles and Jessica, and knew the exact time and place.

The location was not far from the place where Sofia drove her and Eric out of the train compartment.

The hired mercenary group was wiped out by the undead raid, but Sir Charles and Jessica did not seem to be hurt too much. There are a lot of doubts here...

Brown did not expect Anne to want to check these ancient heroes. He whispered: "Aren't you afraid of being known by Master Liang?"

Annie pulled Brown away without caring, saying: "You know so much more than me, but you are unwilling to tell me... It makes me jealous and can't help but find more secrets about them. Aren't you curious? Don't you want to know more answers?"

Annie's last sentence made Brown no longer resist. The more he came into contact with these ancient heroes, the more he was attracted by the brilliant magic civilization of ancient times. Since he was determined to learn more advanced magic from the ancient heroes, he naturally wanted to know more about them.

"Okay, let's call Hannah... If she stops us, we will stop."

Annie realized: "Yes, go find Hannah first. If she stops us... It means we have found the right person, let's go..."

Brown really regretted being too talkative.

Marquis Whitehead convened a meeting of important members of Marcellus, allowing Sir Charles to finally get away and reunite with Jessica. The two found a place to sit down, holding their glasses and drinking slowly, waiting for the end of the banquet.

Jessica looked at the heavily guarded stairs and the corridor on the second floor, and suddenly asked Sir Charles: "Sir... Do you think Marquis Whitehead will kill all the enemies he thinks at this banquet?

This is such a good opportunity, important figures from the parliament and the Saroyang City Hall are here."

Sir Charles smiled and said: "The problem of Marcellus cannot be solved by killing a few important people. Members of the parliament are just spokespersons, and even the speaker is just a senior spokesperson.

Behind these politicians is the entire Marcellus capital body, the capitalists who paid to help them run for election. Everything they say and everything they do is for the benefit of this capital body.

Killing them will only make those capitalists feel bad, and then they can launch a new batch of spokespersons.

Then the empire will bear the responsibility of violating The crime of the Marcellus Treaty affected the impression of the empire in the whole world. Everyone would think that the Fleming Empire was a capricious and untrustworthy country. The economy of the empire was directly hit. Remember...wealth always flows to stable and reputable regions.

The future is no longer an era where Fleming musketeers can sweep across the continent on horseback. New weapons are changing the mode of war, and researching and manufacturing new weapons requires a lot of money.

This is also the reason why the Fleming Empire and the Marcellus Province have always been patient and unwilling to break out in civil war.

So many countries around covet the fat meat of Marcellus, and fighting... is the last resort. "

Jessica said: "No wonder you hate politicians so much, sir. We explore everywhere and look for ancient secrets, which is more interesting and meaningful than their intrigues. "

"But it is these annoying politicians who maintain the world's order, develop the world's civilization, and provide support for your adventure in various aspects. Everyone's existence has his value. You can hate him but you can't ignore his contribution." Miss Anne came over and easily intervened in the discussion. She sat down with Brown and greeted Sir Charles: "Sir, you are the person I have admired since I was a child. I have read all your adventure notes. Your adventures are simply a wonderful legend for us children.

I know that you are now surveying the Death Desert with the funding of the Empire. Can I know what you and Miss Jessica experienced in the desert?

I have always wanted to explore the Death Desert, but my father I am not allowed to go. I hope to make up for my regrets from your stories..."

"Miss Anne, Mr. Jennings, hello..." Sir Charles did not doubt Anne's purpose for the time being: "Tonight, everyone is asking me about the Death Desert, and I am very willing to tell you about our experience of this survey..."

Sir Charles talked with Anne, and Jessica whispered to Brown: "Where is your maid, Miss Hannah, is she not with you?"

Brown didn't know how Jessica knew Hannah, he replied: "I didn't find her, this place is too big..."

At this time, at the top of a curtain nearby, two bats hid behind the curtain and showed their two little heads, staring at the four people who were talking.

"What should I do?"

"What can I do? Just watch... I'll sleep for a while, call me when you leave. "
